Inamdar, A.S. (author), van Soestbergen, Michiel (author), Mavinkurve, Amar (author), van Driel, W.D. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Moulding compounds used for encapsulating electronics typically occupy a large portion of package volume and are most exposed to the external environment. Under harsh conditions such as high temperature, humidity, and mechanical vibrations, constituent materials of electronic components degrade, resulting in a change in their thermal, mechanical...conference paper 2023

Brouwer, W.S. (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author)The estimation of displacement vectors for (objects on) the Earth's surface using satellite InSAR requires geometric transformations of the observables based on orbital viewing geometries. Usually, there are insufficient viewing geometries available for full 3-D reconstruction, leading to nonunique solutions. Currently, there is no...journal article 2023

Zhao, Wenbo (author), Qiang, Weile (author), Yang, Fei (author), Jing, Guoqing (author), Guo, Y. (author)Ballast layer defects are the primary cause for rapid track geometry degradation. Detecting these defects in real-time during track inspections is urgently needed to ensure safe train operations. To achieve this, an indicator, the track degradation rate (TDR) was proposed. This rate is calculated using track geometry inspection data to locate...journal article 2023

(author), Wong, Man Sing (author), Xie, Yanhua (author), Zhu, Rui (author), Abbas, Sawaid (author), Xu, Yong (author)Urban morphology affects the sensible heat flux and net radiation exchange which can alter urban heat mitigation plans. This study first parameterized the geometric effects on the net radiation, and then calculated the net radiation and sensible heat flux in the urban landscape of Hong Kong. Considering that the sensible heat flux is the main...journal article 2023

Giagnorio, Mattia (author), Tanis, M.B. (author), Hélix-Nielsen, Claus (author), Aschmoneit, Fynn Jerome (author)In forward osmosis, defects on the selective active layer and changes in the porous structure of the support layer can be detrimental factors affecting the membrane performance. This study focuses on the impacts of (i) the possible presence of defects and (ii) the changes in pore structures on the water flux and membrane selectivity via...journal article 2023

Bishnoi, A. (author), Boyadzhiyska, Simona (author), Das, Shagnik (author), den Bakker, Yvonne (author)Given a finite grid in R<sup>2</sup>, how many lines are needed to cover all but one point at least k times? Problems of this nature have been studied for decades, with a general lower bound having been established by Ball and Serra. We solve this problem for various types of grids, in particular showing the tightness of the Ball–Serra bound...journal article 2023

Reed, Emily A. (author), Ramos, Guilherme (author), Bogdan, Paul (author), Gonçalves Melo Pequito, S.D. (author)Finding strongly connected components (SCCs) and the diameter of a directed network play a key role in a variety of machine learning and control theory problems. In this article, we provide for the first time a scalable distributed solution for these two problems by leveraging dynamical consensus-like protocols to find the SCCs. The proposed...journal article 2023

Peng, Q. (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author), Weihs, D. (author)Cancer cell migration between different body parts is the driving force behind cancer metastasis, which causes mortality of patients. Migration of cancer cells often proceeds by penetration through narrow cavities in possibly stiff tissues. In our previous work [12], a model for the evolution of cell geometry is developed, and in the current...book chapter 2023

Beernink, S.T.W. (author), Hartog, Niels (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Bloemendal, Martin (author)The technical and economic success of an Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) system depends strongly on its thermal recovery efficiency, i.e. the ratio of the amount of energy that is recovered to the energy that was injected. Typically, conduction most strongly determines the thermal recovery efficiency of ATES systems at low storage...journal article 2023

Kamminga, Thomas (author)The observations of the Event Horizon Telescope led to the first mages of a black hole, an object with so much gravity that not even light can escape it. These images remain fuzzy but clearly show the shadow of a black hole with a bright disk and will only improve in quality over time. We want to be able to deduce, from the images, the following...bachelor thesis 2022

Chiang, Y.-C. (author)Shell structures carry loads with their thin yet curved shapes. Being thin means shells require little material, which is desirable for minimizing embodied carbon footprints. However, the feature of being curved implies shells require immense effort to design and fabricate. To address the challenges, this dissertation consists of three parts:...doctoral thesis 2022
